Abstract: In the presence of length-biasedness, a lifetime measure of interest may be estimated in two ways: (i) by modeling the data correctly using a length-biased distribution and using the resulting estimators in the original model as an adjustment, or (ii) by modeling the data correctly using a length-biased distribution, and obtaining the original lifetime measure of interest via a transformation, if one exists. Here we examine sufficiency in information context under transformations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
